Abstract

The extension of flux-corrected transport (FCT) schemes to unstructured grids is presented. The spatial discretization is performed via finite elements. In particular, triangular elements in two dimensions have been chosen. The limiting procedure is based on Zalesak's (1979) extension to more than one dimension of the FCT schemes developed by Boris and Book (1973). The resulting scheme, FEM-FCT, is capable of resolving moving and stationary shocks within two elements, and several examples are given that demonstrate the accuracy attainable, even for complicated geometries.
